Tales From The Office: New Speakers and Hip-Hop
It appears this gentlemen works in the same building as the urban radio stations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Speakers were installed near his workspace. He does not like the music being played through those speakers. Instead of using his personal work e-mail to complain to his boss, he used the group e-mail that everyone in his department has access to.

Champion of the Week: Jockeys Win or Die Trying
Check out this drama:

Seriously. It's like they're The Right Stuff or something. And how much you want to bet that scene plays in slow motion? Thanks, Animal Planet. We really need a reality show about jockeys. It's not like they're trying to win a date or something.
Or are they? Behold, the chick jockey:

Let me guess, some producer finds out there's a woman jockey in professional horse racing and thinks, "...she'll break that locker room apart! Tiny broken hearts all over the stable...sold!"
But really, this week on Jockeys:

Oh no!

Bollywood Babes
Sarah Shahi
Weinstein back with another installment of the babes of bolly.
This chick isn't Indian but who the hell cares. She is Azerbaijani and hot. If Langdon remembers this phrase, "I have one dollar and seventy five", then it will surely ring true.
She's graced the cover of Maxim and she's been on the L Word television program. She has also starred in Weinstein's dreams, as his maid.
OK, Hanukkah Harry are you listening? Fine, one more.

Studio Pictures
First I find my old astronaut pen, now I find a box full of pictures from the 90's. Before these pictures meet my zippo, I must ask, do kids still go out and get studio pics? Do they pick out an outfit that they can't wear again (cuz it will forever be immortalized in their studio pic), assemble a group of their closest homies and get their picture taken at the mall? I'm not talking about going all-out like glamour shots, cuz that's a few steps below some Barbizon ish. I have younger cousins and the only group pictures I've seen are from school dances, where there are like 40 to 50 high schoolers in a group picture.

Diggin' In The Crates "A J-Pop Holy Grail" Edition
We take a break from vinyl crate digging to show off the newest addition to my J-Pop library:

AKB48 and their producer, Yasushi Akimoto, self-released their first two singles, this one and "Skirt, Hirari", on their own label prior to signing with DefSTAR/Sony and dropping "Aitakatta" on us all. Locating both of these singles will put you through quite the dogfight on eBay, and I still haven't seen a copy of "Skirt, Hirari" yet, but I will.
If anyone thinks this is quite competist of me to be making a big deal out of this acquisition given that both songs appear on SET LIST: Greatest Songs 2006-2007, it should be pointed out that the mixes of the songs on this single are substantially different than what is on the album.
And then, of course, there's the nifty inserts that came in this CD (and this was for a self-released single!)... first, a square, neatly folded flyer explaining who was in the group at the time and what the concept behind them (theatre and all) was/is about. AKB-Trainspotters will note that the band only consisted of what is now "Team A" at the time.
And then, there's the matter of an individual member card in each copy, presuming that 20 different cards exist. My copy has Tomomi Ohe.

...and back:
